FROGS: Dazzling and I Strongly Believe in the Aquarium’S Focus on the Arts As a Way Disappearing SPRING 2017 Opens May 26 Focus on Sustainability Could California Lead the Way on Farming the Ocean? IT MIGHT SEEM INCONGRUOUS, but one of the most important things we can do as we think about the future of the ocean is to consider how and where we grow the food we eat. Currently we use nearly half of Earth's ice-free land to grow our crops and livestock, and our agricultural practices are not scalable to meet the need for 70 percent more food by 2050. As our global population increases, it is inevitable that humans will turn to the ocean for more food. We are at a critical point; by starting now, governments can plan this process thoughtfully and ensure that any new development is responsibly managed to ensure a safe and sustainable seafood sup- ply, while benefitting people and conserving nature.

  • Petition to List the Relict Leopard Frog (Rana Onca) As an Endangered Species Under the Endangered Species Act
    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR PETITION TO LIST THE RELICT LEOPARD FROG (RANA ONCA) AS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY SOUTHERN UTAH WILDERNESS ALLIANCE PETITIONERS May 8, 2002 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The relict leopard frog (Rana onca) has the dubious distinction of being one of the first North American amphibians thought to have become extinct. Although known to have inhabited at least 64 separate locations, the last historical collections of the species were in the 1950s and this frog was only recently rediscovered at 8 (of the original 64) locations in the early 1990s. This extremely endangered amphibian is now restricted to only 6 localities (a 91% reduction from the original 64 locations) in two disjunct areas within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. The relict leopard frog historically occurred in springs, seeps, and wetlands within the Virgin, Muddy, and Colorado River drainages, in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. The Vegas Valley leopard frog, which once inhabited springs in the Las Vegas, Nevada area (and is probably now extinct), may eventually prove to be synonymous with R. onca. Relict leopard frogs were recently discovered in eight springs in the early 1990s near Lake Mead and along the Virgin River. The species has subsequently disappeared from two of these localities. Only about 500 to 1,000 adult frogs remain in the population and none of the extant locations are secure from anthropomorphic events, thus putting the species at an almost guaranteed risk of extinction. The relict leopard frog has likely been extirpated from Utah, Arizona, and from the Muddy River drainage in Nevada, and persists in only 9% of its known historical range.

  • Environments of Intelligence
    Environments of Intelligence “An absorbing volume that integrates an extraordinarily wide area of work, with interesting observations and new twists right to the end.” Ruth Millikan, University of Connecticut, USA What is the role of the environment, and of the information it provides, in cognition? More specifically, may there be a role for certain artefacts to play in this context? These are questions that motivate “4E” theories of cognition (as being embodied, embedded, extended, enactive). In his take on that family of views, Hajo Greif first defends and refines a concept of information as primarily natural, environmen- tally embedded in character, which had been eclipsed by information-processing views of cognition. He continues with an inquiry into the cognitive bearing of some artefacts that are sometimes referred to as “intelligent environments”. With- out necessarily having much to do with Artificial Intelligence, such artefacts may ultimately modify our informational environments. With respect to human cognition, the most notable effect of digital computers is not that they might be able, or become able, to think but that they alter the way we perceive, think and act. Hajo Greif teaches at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS), Technical University of Munich, Germany, and the Department of Philosophy, University of Klagenfurt, Austria. His research interests cover the philosophy – and some of the history and the social studies – of science and technology, as well as the philosophy of mind.

This is our 23th year implementing the 1990 Willamette National Forest Plan, and this report is intended to give you an update on the services and products we provide. Our professionals monitor a wide variety of forest resources and have summarized their findings for your review. As I reviewed the Forest Plan Monitoring Report I got an opportunity to see the work our specialists are doing in one place and I can’t help but share my appreciation with what the Willamette’s resource specialists are accomplishing. I am overwhelmed by the effort our professionals are doing to get the work done and complete necessary monitoring under declining budgets. Our specialists have entered into partnerships, written grants, and managed volunteers in addition to working with numerous local and federal agencies. We are in the community and hope you enjoying the forests. I invite you to read this year’s report and contact myself or my staff with any questions, ideas, or concerns you may have. I appreciate your continued interest in the Willamette National Forest.

    APPLICATION NOTE Amplitude and Phase Characterization 3333 of Ultrashort Laser Pulses Technology and Applications Center Newport Corporation “In order to measure an event in time, you need an even shorter event.” Rick Trebino, Inventor of Frequency Resolved Optical Grating. 1. Introduction As a consequence of the time-bandwidth uncertainty principle, ultrashort laser pulses carry significant bandwidth. If the spectral components that fall under the bandwidth of the laser pulse are time coincident (figure 1.1), the pulse is said to be at its transform limit. A transform-limited pulse implies that the pulse duration is minimized. Figure 1.2: The temporal relationship between selected Fourier components of a positively chirped pulse. the complete reconstruction of the electric field. Of these techniques, frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) is arguably the most straightforward and easiest to implement. As mentioned earlier, FROG allows for full phase retrieval of the input field without the ambiguity associated with autocorrelation. This note presents a simple, low dispersion, easy-to-use, general purpose FROG device that can be readily implemented on the Newport Long Scan Autocorrelator platform as described in Application Note 27. FROG is a general technique and can be employed in a variety Figure 1.1: The temporal relationship between selected Fourier components of a of experimental geometries, a few of which are listed in transform-limited pulse.
